This Imperial India Pale Ale Rocks... Hardcore! But don’t feel obliged to take our word for it, this little bottle has a grandiloquent story to tell. 2,204 malted Maris Otter grains gave all they had to offer the world to provide the robustly delicate toffee malt canvas for the ensuing epic. 4 Hop Cones willingly sacrificed themselves in fiery cauldron that is our brew kettle to ensure your mouth is left feeling punished and puckering for more. 9,900,000,000 yeast cells frantically fermented their little hearts out as the sugars were magically turned into alcohol in the dark depths of our fermentation tanks. 2 humans and 1 canine companion are relatively happy with the results
Note this is for the new petrol blue coloured labels with white lettering, which is 9.2%. Ratings for the older bottles with with bright blue label and black lettering should go under the first edition.

Bottle from Beershop de Molen @home.
additional notes: bumped glass and spilled some liquid, that’s what you get for being clumsy like me.
Pours dark amber with a light tan frothhead. The aroma is of bitter citrus centennial hops, orange peels. The taste is very bitter, with a slightly dry and bitter finish and aftertaste. Medium-high carbonation.
Overall a tasty beer, but a bit too bitter for my personal preference.

Strong piney and flowerlike hop aromas, caramels amd some malts. Unfortunately in a bottle in the train so hard to rate its appearance (unfortunate, because this really should be drinked in ap proper way, as every real beer should!). Grear flavours. Tulip balls, roses, its like tasting a forrest in spring. Pine, grass, wood, earthy and a aftertaste of bittersweet hops and some yeastness. Great!

Bottle as tesco finest american double ipa. Aromas grassy, hoppy, mango, a hint of treacle/caramel. Taste is fantastic, malty and medium bitter with lots of hop flavour. This is a fantastic beer, one of the best you can get from one of the uk top 4 supermarkets.

Pours a copper yellow with a white head which soon recedes to a bubbly layer. Aroma is grapefruit, mango and an assortment of tropical fruits. Taste is grapefruit, slight caramel, bitter citrus, bitter hops, mango and piney hops. Full bodied and a flavourful endurance.

Poured from a 12oz bottle with a date of 8/15/2015 - one month before best by date.
Very candy smelling aroma...
Taste is not overwhelming awesome, but still pretty good....but it does have a nice bite at the back of the tongue...
